Set in a prime Punta Gorda Isles location, this 3-bed, 2 1/2-bath home features beautiful canal views, no-bridge sailboat access, and open water just minutes away! Inside, your eye is immediately drawn to the lanai and water beyond, with pocket sliding glass doors in the living room opening wide to the spacious 37' x 31' screened lanai, pool and spa. Pocket sliders also bring the water views into the family room, which opens to the kitchen. Just off the kitchen, a large laundry room provides additional storage and pantry space, along with a new washer, laundry tub, and direct access to the garage. The split floor plan creates privacy and flexibility. The primary suite features an ensuite bath, large walk-in closet, and sliding doors to the lanai. One guest bedroom and full guest bath can be closed off from the main living area, with the bath also providing pool access. The second guest bedroom includes an ensuite half bath with separate garage access.
